Chapter 926 Cat’s Enemy

A new week begins.On Monday morning, Luo Binhan opened his work email at the dining table and carefully read an email from Liu Ling.He rarely uses this work email, but when he came back from Shi Qi's house last night, he found that Liu Ling had sent him a message, reminding him to check his email.After he got home, he opened his mailbox and looked at it. Sure enough, there was a newly received email. The content was very long, and there were several extremely large attachments. They were all scanned pictures of foreign language materials, and occasionally there were a few photos of unknown meaning. , the shooting content is like a certain place or person, and each picture makes people feel uncomfortable after looking at it for a long time.

He knew that it was impossible to figure these things out overnight, so he only read the text of the email Liu Ling wrote to him, browsed through the contents of a few folders, and went to bed.The main text is written in Chinese. Although it is not short, there is no nonsense. Every sentence is crucial and closely related to the investigation Luo Binhan commissioned her to do a month ago.She actually got the thing done in one go, when Luo Binhan almost forgot about it.

Luo Binhan didn't know where she got such detailed information. It must have involved a lot of money or connections.This made him feel that Liu Ling did not completely believe his original statement of "collecting information for a friend who was doing research", and maybe she had seen something from his desire to challenge Lenny Klein.But it doesn't matter. As long as it concerns Yu Xiaorong, Liu Ling will of course actively help him and will not reveal anything to the people on Li Hai's side.In the body of the email, she introduced him to the past lives of three murderers: Lenny Klein, Rod Gruber Guillermin, and Robert Rodriguez.

It is a strange thing to understand the life of a murderer.In Liu Ling's emotionless statements, Luo Binhan was surprised to find that Luo De had a special background.His grandfather was believed to be the illegitimate son of a prominent Catholic bishop in the past. He himself became a wealthy businessman living in England and owned a large amount of land and farms in the countryside.Unfortunately, the family declined quickly, and by the time Lot's father got married, the situation had completely changed.Deep in debt, they settled on the outskirts of a city in north-central England with high rates of smoking, drug and alcohol abuse, as well as high crime and suicide rates.

In this case, Rod Gruber Guillermin was born.When he was born, his father was suffering from mental illness and his mother was a recurrent alcoholic. There were frequent conflicts between the two, and in the most intense moments, they even pulled out a gun at home.However, they are all devout religious believers, love to go to chapels to confess, and have a box of precious theological works said to have been handed down by the ancestor who was the archbishop.As the smartest child in his family, Rod Guillermin learned these scriptures by heart early on.

He was favored because of this, and was even expected to become a great figure in the Rongyin family like his ancestors.Unfortunately, the wave of unemployment came before success. The entire family lost their source of income, and several children were forced to interrupt their studies and stay at home or wander the streets all day long.Their father's mental illness worsened significantly within just a few months, and he began to talk crazy things about "holy places" and "salvation."During this process, Rod Guillermin was the person who took care of him the most.

No one can prove how much this process affected Rod Guillermin.This family had almost no contact with their neighbors. They were hostile to Anglicans, but they also disliked Catholics, because most of the Catholics in that place were from outside.Perhaps because of their unemployment, the family has a strange concept. Not only do they believe that outsiders are of inferior origin and greedy by nature, but they also believe that they are supernatural enemies, "enemies who sneak into good people and corrupt their bloodline."This belief eventually led to the disintegration of the family. After his father's death, Rod Guillermin wandered around and finally found a job on the European continent.But his ideas about blood and race did not disappear, but intensified over time.In the end, he was imprisoned for the murder of multiple African-American immigrants, encountered an accident, and "died".

Last night, Luo Binhan spent nearly two hours studying Rod Guillermin in detail, clicking on all the information related to him in the attachments, including photos of his youth and the verdict.It seems that Rod's habit of attacking backpackers is an old habit, and he also loves electronic products - he lived in the vicinity of a post-industrial city with a depressed economy during his childhood. I wonder if this has any influence.This was one of the few common points that Luo Binhan could connect the "Rod Guillermin" on the file with the monster he knew.Other than that, he really couldn't see much.Those pictures of his youth bore no resemblance to the strange faces he'd seen that night.

But Rod Guillermin didn't matter anymore.he died.At least probably dead.Among the three people who committed unforgivable sins, the one least likely to cause trouble to the world was Lot, who loved playing with mobile phones, but only Lot's information was particularly detailed.The information about Lenny Klein is very vague, because this person has traveled to many countries and changed many names in the past.He was well learned and apparently well-educated, so he always settled in new places without much suspicion.His childhood is also very vague, possibly in Honduras or Panama.As for why he formed such a crazy belief that mutilating children can prolong his life, there seems to be no clear conclusion so far. There is only one story that leaked from his own mouth during the police interrogation:
Klein's mother was once a well-known lady and a well-known local beauty. She also cherished her beauty very much.However, this love developed more and more extreme over time. When she found that her life was inevitably passing away, her anxiety led her to make all kinds of absurd and even terrifying attempts.She adopted various folk remedies of questionable origin, learned various so-called witchcraft rituals, and even locked herself in a room as dark as a cave to stop time from flowing.Needless to say, these are all useless efforts.

Finally, one day she stared in the mirror and noticed the first wrinkles on her face that could not be concealed by adjusting her demeanor, and some kind of crazy idea came to her.She began to believe that time did not really exist and did not pass in the way people thought. What really mattered was the total number of events and people.She paranoidly believed and taught her children this way, telling them that the reason why people age and die is because new lives are constantly appearing, constantly greedy for time and life span, so the old lives have to let their own Come take your seat.For this reason she is jealous of all beings younger than herself, and seeks ways to reverse this predation.What she wants is not an economic or social plunder, such as the rich buying the time of the poor, or the access of those in power to medical treatment and organ donation.What she seeks is a method that goes beyond common sense, rather than playing games with mathematics and models, or purely symbolically seizing survival resources.In other words, what she is obsessed with is the secret technique of taking over other people's bodies like in horror stories, and becoming a spirit that absorbs the lives of others.She also firmly believed that the method to achieve this goal must be primitive, not about money or lies, but the most direct and violent plunder - all these crazy ideas were completely absorbed by her son Lenny Klein Absorbed.Then she inevitably died, ashes to ashes, making way for her doubly crazy son.

This story may not be true.Lenny Klein lied frequently throughout the interrogation process and passed the machine test perfectly.Police who questioned him described him as a monster in human skin.In comparison, Robert Rodriguez is a boring guy.His resume is so clear that Liu Ling summarized it in just one paragraph: He is a German born and raised in Hesse, born and raised in an ordinary middle-class family, single for a long time and has few friends. After graduation, he first worked in She worked as a nurse in a mineral water sanatorium and then as a hospital nurse.The reason why he killed his patients was also very simple and clear: Those seriously ill patients lived in too much pain, were in poor health, and had bad tempers, which made the people who took care of them miserable.Death is a good thing for everyone, and he can quickly gain the gratitude of the patient's family, sometimes even receiving gifts and extra cash compensation.There are too many people in this world. Where there are many people, there is more pain. It is not a pity to die. He also said the same thing when he went to court.

This man's story was so realistic and pure, without the slightest hint of mystery, that Luo Binhan felt that he should not be placed between Lot and Klein.This person is probably a boring type among perverted murderers.He also saw a photo of this person. He was a 36-year-old black-haired man, tall, slightly fat, and with a thick beard common among Arab men.The beard covered almost half of his face, and all that could be seen was that he had an extraordinarily broad nose, and his deep-set eyes looked clumsy and dull.These characteristics make people think that he is not very smart but quite honest. No wonder his family members all think that he has done his best.

Luo Binhan studied this photo carefully for a while, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was not the same type of person as Rhodes or Klein.He began to believe that Robert was really dead, died under the ruins of the prison, his body was mixed in the compressed blocks of cement and steel bars, and was forgotten by the lazy workers like the poor patients he cared for.Thinking of this, he almost whistled at the dinner table.

"What are you doing?" Yu Xiaorong, who was sitting opposite, looked suspicious, "What are you reading?"

"Nothing," Luo Binhan replied, "I read some recent gossip news."

"What did you say?"

"Talking about nurses cheating on patients' feelings." Luo Binhan said seriously, "You have to be careful of those tough male nurses, they are all very good at pretending to be honest." Yu Xiaorong threw a cashew nut at him.Her accuracy was getting better and better now, and Luo Binhan could only warn her in a serious manner not to waste food.

"I won't be back for dinner today." He stood up and closed the computer. "I probably won't be able to do it this week."

"Is your company going bankrupt?"

"The audit team came in today. I have to go say hello."

He went downstairs half an hour early.The weather was very sunny that day, and Luo Jiayang hadn't arrived yet, so he walked to the community and wandered for a while.The morning breeze was quite cool, with the sweet fragrance of gardenias. The wall-climbing roses were as red as purple and in full swing, like a big group of fireworks exploding on the railings. He was in a good mood, and he was not at all prepared to receive an audit today. Worry about the team.In fact, the leader is an old friend of Lingfan for many years. He is just going to go through the motions - treat a few teachers to a meal, give some pre-arranged gifts, and say a few words about looking forward to the future, and today's task is over. .As for tomorrow?There is tomorrow.In his mind, he divided the days of this week into sections, and calculated until Sunday when he and Shi Qi would go to the hospital.It is said that the effect of her mother's latest chemotherapy was very good and she seemed to be in good spirits.She seemed to have known about Shi Qi's existence from his aunt, but she only knew his last name and appearance.He also wanted to buy some gifts for visiting patients in advance. He had better ask Shi Qi about this first.

There was nothing else to worry him about.The email sent by Liu Ling described so many tragic or terrible things, but he felt more relaxed.The content shown in those materials is so far away from daily life, it is like a third-rate thriller story read in a street stall magazine.It is difficult for outsiders to feel real fear in such stories, because it is completely different from their own lives.Instead, it gives people a sense of security through this false and unfamiliar intimidation.

At the gate of the community, Luo Binhan encountered a group of wild cats lying down and basking in the sun.They are all frequent visitors to this community and are regularly fed by several people.There was a young man who lived in the building next door to him who often came to feed the cats and chatted with Luo Binhan several times.He is a veterinarian at a pet hospital. He neither smokes nor drinks. His biggest hobby is sending stray cats that have eaten his food to the operating table.Thanks to this person's selfless love, several years have passed and the number of wild cats in this community has almost remained unchanged.When Luo Binhan was bored, he also imagined that if patients during the Great Famine had to be sterilized for free from the doctor, would they appreciate it? But if the target was Zhou Yu, the problem would be much simpler. Eat Zhou Yu A mouthful of rice might be worse than starving to death.

The wildcats showed little sadness over their losses.They all have moist fur and are so fat that they are mouthwatering. The fattest orange cat among them is "Carmen".When Luo Binhan walked up to it and pushed its head with the toe of his leather shoe, it only reluctantly squinted at him, but its body was still lying on its back, motionless at all.

"Paralyzed?" Luo Binhan said, reaching out to grab the back of its neck and forcing it to stand up from the ground.It only stood for two seconds, and then it fell to the side, its tail swinging widely in displeasure.Luo Binhan believes that its obesity has reached a level that threatens its health.There are no medium or large stray dogs in this community, so they have few competitors and don't like to play much.It might be better if someone shakes the cat stick with them.Then he wondered if Shi Qi liked pets.She seems to prefer quiet people, so cats may be better than dogs, and turtles are better than cats.Would she be afraid of lizards?He couldn't tell, she wasn't afraid of bugs anyway, she was used to seeing cockroaches and rats.These can all be discussed later.

He touched Carmen's fat belly. "Be careful, you're being tricked." The cat stupidly patted him with its paw, but he had already walked away.He met Luo Jiayang in the underground parking lot. The other person still had the sinister look on his face, but said nothing.In the past month, he had kept to himself and did not let Luo Binhan make any big mistakes.The noose was being tightened steadily, and Luo Binhan began to consider whether to assign Luo Jiayang some more important work - of course his obligation was not only to let Luo Jiayang be a driver for his whole life, but his uncle and aunt's expectation was to "cultivate a man."To achieve this goal, Luo Binhan thought that he would have to strangle seven or eight Luo Jiayang with a rope no matter what.

"How are your friends doing lately?" he asked casually while waiting at the traffic light. "Are you still in contact?"

"No." Luo Jiayang said coldly.Luo Binhan has already checked his house. The dehumidifier works well and the environment is habitable.He just assumed that everything Luo Jiayang said these days was the truth.

"You can wait in my office today." Luo Binhan said, "We may have to go out for a meal at noon. There are still a few boxes of cigarettes and tea in my office. You can take half of it when you leave, and half of it will be given to you. At my parents’ place.”

Luo Jiayang didn't respond, but he didn't object either.The green light soon turned on, and the rest of the journey was smooth. Everything was a good sign for the day.
